i have headaches/migraines/cluster on a regular basis, the migrainal helps almost all, it just helps regulate the blood flow.
take 4 advil migraine gelcaps 800 mg at once that sometimes wud help as well, however its very important not to take painrelievers often because the possibilty of rebound headaches r huge. any food bought in a drive thru is a huge NO NO to people with ne headaches! |
I have a friend that suffers from really bad cluster headaches, so if this was prescribed to u for treatment of the cluster and not a migraine, I'll let him know. I get migraines probably once a week, but taking one advil works for me luckily. |

So you dont know me, so what, but i just went through all this , ask your doctor to prescribe you MIGRAINAL, its medication that u inhale up ur nose and within 15 minutes u should feel a huge amount of relief!!
good luck |
yeah when I get migraines I take about 8mg of hydromorphone up the nose. The scary thing is that doesn't even take away the headache, just makes it more managable while I wait for the imitrex to kick in |

One advil does not/will not cure migraines. That would be called a regular headache.
I was in the hospital this week with a migraine, and they had to hook me up to an IV for 8 hours with a tonne of painkillers. Even after all that, I came home and still felt like . |

sorry, I get migraines, and one advil does work for me, as long as I take it early on. Everyone is different when it comes to treatments, and Advil works wonders for me where Aspirin and Tylenol usually does nothing, but is useful to others. I used to get them bad where I would throw get nautious and vomit all over someone who was within range :eek: but luckily I have grown out of that. |

I find it incredibly difficult to believe that one advil could do anything for a real migraine.
However, if it's true... you are one lucky bastard. |

I don't. Even something as simple as laying down can help a migraine. |

And you're a nurse :p
Really? One advil?!?! That blows me away. One advil doesn't do all for my migraines, and anyone I know who has had a migraine has agreed that advil/tylenol does jack. |

Yes, because your migraines are just like everyone else's.

| Many years ago I used to have frequent and powerful migraines. They'd usually disable me for the rest of the day and I had to take some pretty hardcore drugs. Then it went away after a year or so. |
